Export the video

Everything here is on the Export tab. The top line says how long the edit runs.

Export a video

1. Pick the Playback speed, from 0.5× to 2×. Normal is 1×. The preview plays at this speed too.
2. Choose Export 16:9 (landscape, up to 1440p) or Export 9:16 (vertical 1080×1920, cropped around you).
3. Pick where to save the MP4.

The progress line under the preview shows the export. The cross next to it cancels the export, and no half-finished file is left behind.

When it's done, Last export names the file. Show file opens its folder.

What's in the file

• H.264 video at your recordings' own frame rate, made with your computer's own hardware encoder when it has one.
• The captions, if they're on, burned in.
• Zooms, b-roll, slides, sound effects and music.
• The chapters as chapter markers, and the title.
• The thumbnail as cover art, if you made one.
• An .srt caption file beside the MP4, with the same name.

Export reads your original recordings, not the preview copies, so keep them where they were when you added them.

Finish in another editor

To finish the cut in another editor, save the edit as a timeline of your original recordings:

• Final Cut Pro: an .fcpxml file. DaVinci Resolve opens it too.
• Premiere Pro: a Final Cut 7 .xml file. Resolve opens it too.
• EDL: a CMX 3600 .edl file, for any editor.

The timeline has every kept stretch at normal speed, with the chapters as markers. Captions, zooms, b-roll and sound stay in ClipCat.
